Conte has lifted the lid on who makes the decisions in regards transfers at Chelsea – him or the board.

He said: “I think that I was very clear in the past to say the club sometimes ask me my opinion about our transfer market and situation, the way we can improve.

“At the same time the final decision is from the club. This is our situation and the truth. The club has to spend money and this is right. I think it is not right to speak about this, one person, to talk in general
